Glory days

Most colleges and universities that are fortunate enough to have experienced some degree of athletic success in their history are proud to tout their “golden era” or “glory days.” They love to harken back to a time when winning streaks were commonplace and championship trophies were plentiful. It’s only natural.

In that way, Denison is no exception. The college’s sports heritage is replete with countless national, regional and conference honors, and the “good old days” are certainly a pride point among the Big Red faithful.

How Denison differs, though, is that there is no need to recall the good old days to find the college’s best successes. When evaluating the college’s broad-based success among its 23 intercollegiate sports programs, the current era is arguably Denison’s “golden era.”
